Bulgarian and Romanian drivers, traveling in European Union member states, will not be checked on green cards, the international certificate of insurance, as of August 1.
The move enforces a directive of the European Commission, passed on July 9, under which member states shall refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles, which are normally based in the territory of Bulgaria and Romania.
The same will apply during travels in Lichtenstein, Andorra, Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
The insurance against civil liability covers damages on the territory of the whole of the European Union as of this year.
